Wild North America 1846

Chapter 319 Harvest a Wave of Bonuses First

Among the two countries, the Tang Kingdom and the American Alliance, which came together out of geographical interests, the Datang Kingdom was undoubtedly in the dominant position, demanding high returns while giving.

The areas where there is currently agreement are;

On the crucial eastern battlefield, the military was dominated by the United States and the Confederate States, with the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty sending some troops to assist and accepting the unified command of General Robert Lee.

In the current focus of the western battlefield, the military is dominated by the Tang Kingdom, with the United States and the Allied Powers sending troops to assist, and accepting the command of the Tang Kingdom's corps.

Any subsequent unfinished matters will be resolved through negotiation between the two parties.

On the issue of free aid and re-loans to the South, on the basis of respecting the wishes of the South, the Tang Dynasty Government agreed to exert influence and provide as much convenience as possible for the material and financial support that the South was in urgent need of.

at this point

President Jefferson Davis acted more sober than the Yankees, until he deeply tied up the importance of the interest classes in the Tang Kingdom.

At a time when the country is facing an existential crisis, let alone huge debts.

As long as we survive, it's easy to say anything. At worst, the domestic economy will be kidnapped and deeply penetrated by the Tang Kingdom. So what?

It is better to live than to die, as there is an old saying in the East?

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

On the issue of occupied territories, the United States and the Confederate States reluctantly agreed and would publicly recognize the legal sovereignty of the Tang Kingdom in Tijuana, Kansas and several northern states that it currently occupies and actually controls after the war. This is better than the original

The position has taken a big step forward.

The original position of the Southerners was quite tough and they refused to admit the fact that Tijuana was occupied, because in their view, Tijuana was located south of California and should be part of the Confederate territory in terms of latitude.

This reason is indeed somewhat far-fetched, because Tijuana was one of the swing states after the outbreak of the civil war, leaning neither towards the south nor the north, and its political stance is somewhat similar to swing states like Tennessee.

In other words, if you stand on the shore and want to be a faggot, you will hang out with whoever wins.

Tijuana's calculation is not wrong, it is full of the simple and crude style of American opportunism.

It's a pity that they forgot to take a look at their good neighbor, the Tang Kingdom, which is a truly man-eating beast. When they turned over lazily, they swallowed Tijuana whole, including the skin and bones, without even a chance to regret it.

If there were a few smart people in Tijuana who had learned Chinese strategy, they would have understood the principle of "don't allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed", and they would not have made such a huge mistake.

The Tang Kingdom is immigrating to Tijuana on a large scale, and similar areas include Costa Rica and Mexico. The future fate of these areas is almost destined and cannot be changed.

There has never been a precedent for the Tang Dynasty to spit out the fat it swallowed during its expansion.

Richard doesn't care whether the North American War is over or not, he will harvest the dividends first. Just like the state of Kansas now under full military occupation by the Tang Kingdom, the Confederate States can only hold their noses and reluctantly admit that it belongs to the Tang Dynasty.

Territory within the kingdom's sphere of influence.

After all, this state was lost by the Southerners in the war. The Tang Kingdom relied on its own military power to defeat the Yankees and seize the territory from the Yankees.

Moreover, during the Kansas Civil War that lasted for many years, the North and the South were constantly fighting, and the Yankees never truly and completely unified occupied Kansas and brought it into their own sphere of influence.

The two sides have not signed a formal agreement on this. This kind of thing must not be left behind with words and real evidence. It only exists in the political tacit understanding between the two sides. After the war is won, it is enough to generally recognize the legality. It will not single out a certain state or state.

The region talks about things.

That would attract great attention from the media and the general public, and it would be impossible to hide the transactions under the table if we get to the bottom of it.

Nowadays, the biggest unresolved issue in the alliance treaty between the two parties is the ownership of Monterey state.

The problem of Monterey is different from that of Tijuana and Kansas. It is undoubtedly one of the constituent states of the Confederate States of the United States and part of the sacred territory of the Confederate States of America. How can it be ceded?

The problem is

The Tang Kingdom must claim the Monterey State. This tough position cannot be compromised. The 120 million Tang Yuan in free aid is not given in vain. The United States and the Confederate States must be cut off from this huge piece of flesh.

Because this is a key area for realizing the Tang Dynasty’s two-ocean strategy and the basis for establishing the Tang Kingdom’s freedom to exert an important influence in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, it must be in hand.

If we do not seize the golden opportunity of the North American War now, it will be almost impossible to obtain Monterey State after the situation in North America stabilizes after the war.

Unless the Tang Kingdom brazenly openly went to war with its allies and used force to violently seize land.

If you act like this, you will completely lose your credibility in the international political situation. Then who will dare to make friends with you in the future?

Relying on the strength of his own force, he even deceives his allies.

Now that he has become the leading brother, he can take his brothers and wives home with him if they want. If they don't do this, who is willing to follow such a leading brother?

The principles are the same, words are rough and reason is not rough.

Just when this conflict reached a stalemate, a message came from the Daming Palace, which immediately brought the "Monterey State Problem" that was originally in a deadlock into light and made it possible for it to survive.

The message of this compromise is just that; an exchange of territory.

Of course, the Tang Kingdom would not exchange its territory with the United States, but would exchange it with the territory of the current enemy of both parties, the United States of America.

This is really a bad idea, but it is the best way to solve the problem.

Confederate President Jefferson Davis and other high-level government leaders do not have to worry about being called "traitors" by the domestic people, and do not need to bear the stigma, because any state in the United States of America is far better than Monterey.

It's not even remotely strong.

Even Indiana is much better than Monterey State.

Whether it is the south or the north, there is no shortage of vast coastlines bordering the Atlantic Ocean. Naturally, the coastline of Monterey State is not looked down upon.

But the Tang Kingdom is different!

If you want to grow into a world power that takes into account the interests of both oceans and maintain the necessary influence on Europe and Asia, mastering the Monterey state is an indispensable key factor, and you must win it quickly.

Why is this a bad idea?

The Tang Kingdom pretends to be a good person here. No matter which free state is cut off from the Northern United States and given to the southerners, it will be an eternal pain in the hearts of the Northern Federation. It will also be a long-term territorial dispute between the two sides that will never end.

Deep hatred.

This was originally the most skillful trick of British people in later generations. Richard took it out and borrowed it first. It can be said that he had evil intentions. He really killed three birds with one stone!

The last wonderful thing about this is that it artificially created the basis for a long-term alliance between the Confederate States of the United States and the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty. It is simply a wonderful move.

Originally, the alliance between the two countries was based on the exchange of interests and lacked a stable political foundation. Isn't it there now?

In this way

The North American region has formed a basic strategic pattern of 2 vs. 1. While transferring conflicts and hatred, it is very conducive to the control of the Tang Kingdom and creates a lot of room for maneuver.

Just when the two countries were discussing the establishment of an alliance, news of the southern victory came from Xuefeng Mountain. The Tang Kingdom suddenly turned into a sea of ​​joy. The streets and alleys were full of people beating gongs and drums, and people danced dragons.

The lion lit firecrackers to express his inner excitement.

The successive military successes achieved by the Tang Kingdom also established the confidence of the United States and the Confederate States to conclude an alliance. They had already seen the dawn of defeating the Yankees, and this was enough.

Yes

Ambushing in the Xuefeng Mountains, there are more than 50,000 troops from the Southern Military Region of the Tang Kingdom and nearly 100,000 militiamen gathered in the south, totaling more than 150,000 people.

When the bloated army led by General Sherman, which stretched for more than 20 kilometers, passed by the American vanguard, the Southern Corps was divided into three groups and attacked the center of the US Army. As expected, the US Army brigade was successfully defeated.

Tens of thousands of Confederate troops then came to cover up and disperse the newly stabilized formation of the U.S. Army, and then they were chased and killed all over the mountains and plains, with heads rolling in and corpses strewn all over the fields.

The American general Sherman, who was suddenly faced with a critical situation, finally managed to stabilize the vanguard of more than 30,000 troops. When he was preparing to lead his army to counterattack, he encountered the main force of the Southern Army of the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty, which had been reorganized.

The two sides engaged in a head-to-head fight at the foot of Xuefeng Mountain. The main force of the Southern Army led by Lieutenant General Tian Mantun used fierce artillery fire and precise long-range volley fire to carry out a unilateral massacre of the US military, leaving countless corpses behind.

He ran away with hatred.

Just this one showdown;

The main force of the Southern Corps killed and wounded 8,763 elite U.S. troops and captured more than 4,700 alive.

During the entire battle of Xuefeng Mountain

The Allies killed a total of 36,700 Northern troops, captured 49,300, and suffered approximately 14,800 casualties, including more than 3,500 casualties from the Tang Kingdom's army, and seized 352 old-fashioned artillery pieces of various types and more than 13,100 horse-drawn carriages filled with supplies.

Destroy thousands of vehicles and get countless trophies of all kinds.

After this battle

General Sherman's troops had less than 40,000 desolate troops left. They lost almost all their baggage and fled northward in shock. A few days later, they reunited with the 75,000 U.S. troops returning from the vanguard to form a new army with a total strength of more than 100,000 troops.

A large regiment of 110,000 people.

On the other hand, the approximately 100,000-strong Northern Army led by General Samuel Brown, located along the Mississippi River, had broken camp and retreated north a week ago, passing through Tennessee and returning to northern Kentucky, and was moving closer to the Chicago metropolitan area.

Strengthen local defenses.

After hearing the tragic news of the defeat of Sherman's American troops, General Samuel Brown's troops did not hesitate and accelerated their march, and were expected to arrive in Chicago in about 10 days.

Judging from the current situation, there is currently no additional military force that can stop General Samuel Brown's more than 100,000 U.S. troops from converging with the large number of militiamen being mobilized in Chicago.

However, the 110,000 remnants of Sherman's troops who stayed in the south were severely defeated. The Southern Army had gathered 50,000 more elite militiamen from its allies and formed a field regiment with a total strength of 100,000. After three days of rest,

Set off northward.

Its purpose is to join forces with the Colorado Corps, which has a total strength of about 190,000 troops (including 30,000 troops under General Hill's command in the southern United States), to open a large north-south attack net, and strive to capture the remaining 110,000 troops under Sherman's command.

All the defeated generals stayed.

General Sherman's Northern Army is the most powerful and most powerful Northern Army field force in the entire Western Theater. If it can be completely destroyed, the situation on the entire Western Front will become clearer.
